The Goodland Regional Medical Center Auxiliary received the Gold Award of Excellence at the Hospital Auxiliaries of Kansas convention.

Auxiliary President Deb Lucas with members Anita Coleman and Shelby Miller got the award on Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Hyatt Re-gency Hotel in Wichita. The group helped with the annual health fair, cancer screenings and the Slice of Life Benefit Golf Tournament. They also recognized the hospital staff during National Hospital Week.

Fund raising projects included a potato bar in March. The group donates money to buy equipment and materials for different depart-ments.

The award is given to auxilia-ries that donate to a health career scholarship, are involved in a health related community service, sponsor special projects and other activities. The Goodland auxiliary has earned the award for the last seven years.

“We are getting ready for our annual potato bar in March,” said Auxiliary President Lucas. “It has been very successful for us.”

“The auxiliary has changed a lot in the last few years,” she said. “We are doing so much more than just giving out juice.”

For information about the group, call Tina Goodwin at (785) 890-6036 or Lucas at (785) 899-5328.
